Yes, because the article leads with that. But I think we're actually in agreement.

I make a distinction between intelligence and wisdom, something I thought about from D&D.

Intelligence is having accurate models. Quick thinking, and correct predictions.

Wisdom is about making good decisions. Risk control, understanding rewards.

Both are a mental qualities we appreciate in people, but often we are more dazzled by intelligence, and we often mistake wisdom for intelligence.
